Tuesday Manny Legace had found a new home in St. Louis. The veteran who played with the Wings for 6 seasons found himself signing with the Blues who last season had the worst record in the NHL.

Legace, 33 who had been the #1 goalie for Detroit had helped them to a successful season and looked to be in top shape for the playoffs was upset by the #8 seed Edmonton Oilers in the opening round. Then the Wings signed Dominick Hasek and gave Legace the boot. How demeaning being the #1 goalie then getting tossed into a trash heap! Manny should be the #1 goalie for the Blues who had 57 points and missed the playoffs. I wonder what will happen with the Blues this year?? John Davidson had this to say "The Blues are excited to have a goalie with a career winning record on the team." To that I have this comment "Just because you bring in a goalie with a career winning record doesn't mean you will win!" But Legace does own a 114-43-18 record with a 2.221 goals against average so it will be interesting what will happen. 

I think the Wings made a mistake by letting him go because he was a good goalie. And he did some great things in Detroit.

  It sucks that the Wings don't have him any more.
